circuitry to delay a square wave clock signal

Sep 07, 2005 4 Replies

If you want accuracy, and can live with up to 100nsec of jitter (+/-50nsec), get yourself a good cyrstal-controlled 10HMz oscillator, and and use it to clock your square wave through two D-type bistables.

Use an exclusive-OR to compare the outputs of the two D-types, and whenever there's a difference, turn off the clock to the second D-type for 3,000 ticks of the 10MHz clock (for which you will need a 12-bit counter - in the past I would have used a pair of 74HCT40103 binary down counters).

These days I'd find a programmable logic device with a least 14 latches (which is pretty small).

I have a two-edge delay circuit around here somewhere. I'll post it to a.b.s.e when I find it.

Hi guys,



I am new here and am hoping someone can hep me with my 800Hz clock problem.



I need to time delay a 800Hz square wave signal by 0.3ms. What sort of simple circuitry can I use to time delay my square wave clock signal by this short amount of time?



Thanks,



Phil



You could use an RC low-pass filter followed by schmitt trigger, or, the /Q output of a monostable (for a delayed rising clock edge). It depends how accurate the delay needs to be.
